YALSA Diversity Taskforce

The YALSA Diversity Taskforce is in its second year, with an ultimate goal of helping diversify YALSA's membership. One of our charges, given to us by the YALSA Board, was to "create programming, readers' advisory and collection development resources to assist library workers in serving diverse teen populations." To assist in that directive, members of the Taskforce will be regularly updating this page to include links and information to help you serve Diverse Teens. Please check back regularly as we work on creating a site for our YALSA members to use with their teens. Alma Ramos-McDermott, Chair
